Abstract

This article focuses on position lights on the subsonic advanced light combat and trainer aircraft Aero L -159 Alca with an emphasis on the dependability of the position lights. Through long -term operation of the L-159 aircraft and continuous recording and reporting of faults, we are able to perform a comprehensive reliability analysis of lighting elements. Based on such observations, it is possible to create a reliability predictive model for lighting and signalling components, with the Poisson process being employed in this study. In addition, analysis and comparing failure rates can deal with the degree of criticality of the influence of position light failures on air traffic safety. The results of this
study are crucial for enhancing understanding and safety measures in the area of dependability of lighting and signalling systems on modern military aircraft.
